I...CPAP is Continuous Pressure something something. It's for people who have sleep apnoea, which is where you stop breathing when you are asleep and jerk awake. Often it's because your neck is too fat and your throat collapses a bit when you are lying down due to the weight of the fat. When you're asleep it relaxes too much.<br /><br />A CPAP can either be a mask that goes over your mouth and nose or in my case just little nose plugs, hooked up to a machine via a big tube. It continuously blows air up your nose, which holds your airway open all night and prevents you from stopping breathing.<br /><br />Without a CPAP you wake so frequently throughout the night (my case is considered moderate at 15 times an hour) that your sleep is always disrupted and you're always tired during the day, dangerously so. You never get a good night sleep. Also, your brain is frequently being deprived of oxygen which is not good for you at all! So it is a serious matter and I really need to wear it.

If you're like me you'll immediately start finding "holes" in your resolution. My first one would be to wear it for an hour and then take it off and say "I used it". How about committing to using for at least 4 hours each night? When I first got mine I had to prove to the insurance company that I was wearing it at least 4 hours/night for the first 90 days. <br /><br />Maybe you should consider the face mask instead of the nose one. I wear the face mask even with a runny nose (of course then my mouth dries out, but better than not using it).<br /><br />Best of luck with this resolution, I know you can do it!FogDoghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16261774071964785378noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7049713508865658990.post-57843202650782988682015-04-01T04:03:35.171-07:002015-04-01T04:03:35.171-07:00A good resolution for April.

If I had to have one, even with all my positive thinking I would have a hard time dealing with it.<br /><br />I know your main goal is to get rid of it, you can do it. Be good on yourself, don’t give in to temptations.<br /> <br />I am so happy to hear you went for walks, this is steps in the right direction, it is a sure sign of beating off your flue. <br />Richardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08738870796987568040noreply@blogger.com
